Energy and Geotechnology
Wed, Apr 11, 2007 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Dr. Carlos Santamarina,
Georgia TechAbstract:
Energy is critical to growth. There will be a pronounced increase in energy demands in the next decades. This will exacerbate issues related to the spatial distributions of supply and demand, the dependency on fossil fuels, and their consequences. Geotechnology is at the center of the energy challenge, in all its stages, from production, transportation, consumption and conservation, to waste management. The case of hydrate bearing sediments is of particular interest. Their study requires a wide range of disciplines, anchored around geomechanics, and the development of new numerical and experimental tools to understand their intricate formation history and complex behavior.Location: Kaprielian Hall (KAP) - rielian Hall, 203

Modeling the Flow Response of Severely Processed Metals: Application to Copper and Zirconium
Wed, Apr 11, 2007 @ 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM
Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Irene J. Beyerlein Staff Scientist Theoretical Division Los Alamos National Laboratory Los Alamos, NM 87545 Irene@lanl.gov Severe plastic deformation techniques have received considerable attention for their potential in producing nanocrystalline metals with outstanding properties. As the name suggests, these techniques involve deforming metals up to extremely large strains, from 100% to 1600%. To measure their mechanical performance, subsequent uniaxial tests or hardness measurements are conducted on the heavily processed samples. In most situations, the severely processed material is plastically anisotropic, meaning that the yield stress and hardening evolution depend on the strain mode and direction imposed by the test. So for example the tensile strength of the material could be stronger along the billet axis than transverse to it. The opposite may occur in compression. Furthermore, subsequent loading most often imposes a strain-path change to the material. Both strain-path changes and large plastic straining have for some time challenged development of models for metal deformation. We are currently developing micromechanical hardening laws and multi-scale models for the deformation behavior of metals with a large strain processing history. The resulting constitutive model accounts for contributions to anisotropy by texture and microstructural evolution in pre-straining and re-loading. In this talk, the predictions will be compared with the measured responses in copper and zirconium after they have been processed by equal channel angular extrusion. The model forecasts significant asymmetry in the tension and compression responses and directional dependence of these metals after ECAE, in agreement with observation

Meet the VP of Northrop Grumman
Wed, Apr 11, 2007 @ 05:30 PM - 07:30 PM
Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
University Calendar
The Engineering Management Society (EMS) invites you to:What: Meet the VP of Northrop GrummanWhen: Wednesday, April 11, 2007, 5:30-7:30 PMWhere: SAL 101BIOGRAPHY: DR. CHARLES VOLK Vice President and Chief Technologist, Northrop Grumman, Electronic Systems, Navigation Systems DivisionDr. Volk joined Litton Industries' Guidance and Control Systems Division (GCS) in 1977. His initial work involved the development of a nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope, which was a practical extension of his doctoral thesis in atomic physics. In 1980 Dr. Volk joined the Aerospace Corporation in El Segundo, California and worked on refinement of atomic clocks
for GPS and MILSTAR programs.In 1984 he returned to Litton GCS assuming increasing levels of responsibility, and was named Vice President of Engineering. When Northrop Grumman acquired Litton Industries, Dr. Volk became the Vice President of Engineering and Manufacturing for the Western Region of Northrop Grumman's Electronic Systems Sector. He was appointed Chief Technologist for Navigation Systems Division in 2003.Dr. Volk earned a Doctorate degree in Physics from Indiana University, and his undergraduate degree in physics from Lake Forest College.Contact Tahseena Khan, EMS President, tahseenk@usc.edu, for more information.Location: Henry Salvatori Computer Science Center (SAL) - 101
